We Return Sept 26!
Come one and come all! We start back up on September 26 with a Big Ole' Blitz Swiss. This is a club rated event where we get to knock off the rust or bust out that new opening you have worked on all summer. We start at 7:00 and will go to 9:00 and play as many G5 rounds as we can. Perhaps a prize or two too. Cost? Nada zip nutin. The club registration is not up yet but will be soon. And if you show up a bit late, we will fit you in on the next round.
